The Guardian has confirmed that Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez will join Bernie Sanders at a New York campaign rally this Saturday and officially endorse him as the Democratic Nominee for the 2020 Presidential election.
The Washington Post later confirmed that the guest would be none other than Ocasio-Cortez herself and that she would be giving Sanders her official endorsement at the event.
"[Bernie Sanders] isn’t fighting to win just one presidential election," Omar Tweeted out, " He’s fighting for the soul of our democracy...I’m so proud to give Bernie my endorsement for president of the United States."
As a publicly favored progressive member of Congress, Ocasio-Cortez's endorsement is expected to bring in a significant number of younger voters.
This could potentially be quite the blow to Elizabeth Warren's campaign, who has just recently become a frontrunner for the Democratic nomination.
